Villa Max Wadiya is a Sri Lankan holiday home found in the fishing village of Ambalangoda with a spectacular coastline and the ocean just minutes from where you stand. The villa is essentially a tropical home with open spaces that lead directly to the expansive lawns, ample outdoor seating where you can enjoy a hearty breakfast while the spectacular views keep you company. The sounds of nature are all you will hear while resting on the sun chairs beside the infinity pool or lounging on the garden. The villa features five bedrooms – three in the main building and two found separately in self-contained suites.
Tangerine Suite
Blue Suite
There are five bedrooms at Villa Max Wadiya and three of these you will find tucked away in the main villa building. Each of these en-suite bedrooms are furnished with four-poster, canopied king-sized beds with mosquito nets to keep the little monsters at bay. Large windows or doors allow you sufficient views of the veranda and garden.
Two bedrooms are found in individual pavilions that not only contain the bedroom but also a living room, en-suite bathroom, mini pantry, and dressing area. These are self-contained units perfect for those looking for a more private setting. The bedrooms are again spacious and comfortable so you will not want for anything.
12 x 6 m
Through palm trees and dense flora in the gardens, you can clearly enjoy a wholesome view of the ocean reaching as far as the eyes can see. A 20-metre swimming pool is the infinity pool you never knew you needed as it extends out to the meet the unsuspecting water for an absolutely magical experience. There is a traditional gazebo just on the edge from where you can enjoy the view in luxurious comfort. Dine outdoors on the gardens under the stars against a picture-perfect setting.
You can either relax on the veranda where there are comfortable wicker chairs overlooking the ocean view or head indoors to the lavish living area separated via sliding glass doors. The living room features comfortable armchairs and wooden sofas in a tropical setting with indoor plants, the view taking centre stage and ceiling fans keeping the room cool and breezy. The room has been decorated with locally-obtained art pieces and intriguing items.
The dining area sits right at the entrance to a beautiful space where when you have such a nice view the food tends to taste even more delicious than it usually does. There is ample seating for everyone so you can have a proper feast with your loved ones. The kitchen is fully-equipped leaving no stone unturned to provide you with modern amenities in this rustic, traditional home.
To make your holiday all the more special and memorable, the staff at Villa Max Wadiya will go out of their way to welcome you and serve you with generosity and kindness. They will look after the daily household chores and upon request will even prepare the most delicious meals made from fresh ingredients sourced locally. Arranging transportation, nature walks, and day-trips is also something they can do, if you wish.
The serene and quiet villa of Ambalangoda is a bit of ways from other parts of Sri Lanka as this could well be your personal slice of heaven. You will not find much traffic here and you can easily find the beach to be secluded. Enjoy watching the local fishermen doing their jobs while the tropical breeze keeps you company.
10/10We really enjoyed our short 3-day stay at Max Wadiya. This is a rare gem that ticked all the boxes! Superb beachfront, well maintained gardens & pool, and excellent service from the manager Ranjan and his team. If you are after a spot to relax & chill out away from the hustle & bustle of SL, then this is the place!
10/10Dear Max Wadiya, Thank you for such a charming and lovely stay! The staff was all so helpful and on point, making every meal and request a delight. The grande and bration were beyond compare for their ability to invite relaxation and reflection. Yoga, massage, stroll along the beach - it all added up to a wonderful relaxing time. Our two years old loved the pool and the fact you have a baby pool was perfect. Thank you for getting everything so perfectly right! P.S. we will be back! Thank you!
10/10To Max Wadiya Team, You guys have been incredible since the moment we arrived. We came on our first family sun holiday with our baby girl Isla (Who turned one on 18th march) You have been so good to Isla. She has had the best time exploring, playing in the pool, napping in the hammock (like a queen) & most importantly the unique experience of releasing baby sea turtles every evening! She has laughed & smiled so much the past 6 days! Thank you for being so wonderful! we can't go without mentioning the food! We will be dreaming of Ranjan & Co's amazing Srilankan curries. We will dream - until nest time! We will be back! lots of love.
10/10Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Max Wadiya. Celebrating Christmas & New Years eve here has been an amazing experience. we loved the house, the pool, the beach, the food, but above all, we loved Ranjan and his excellent staff who all made our stay the most comfortable we could have possibly wished for. The trips we did were great and thanks to Ranjan everything always went smooth and we really had nothing to worry about! Thanks again we hope to come bak!
10/10A Slice of Paradise The combination of easy access from the airport, the setting on the beach, the gourmet food, comfortable accommodation and the hospitality and graciousness of the staff makes it an unbeatable holiday destination. Max Wadiya is so welcoming and has something for all age groups. The beach is pristine and almost private; the swimming pool is stunning, the staff conjure up outstanding meals customised to our preferences and serve them in a gazebo with a million-dollar view. As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words - do take a look! No wonder this was my seventh visit to Max Wadiya!
10/10Such a Lovely Place and relaxing Stay! Such a lovely place - we extended twice our stay. First planned a week then two then an extra 4 nights. So we had a wonderful stay - which was made feeling like home by the whole Max Wadiya team. And thanks to Ranjan it will always be in our heart…Not to forget Ruth & Arthur giving the stay some special atmosphere having sunset drinks and talks and background infos about the place. Great and spacious Suite, big pool, sunset dinning and private clean beach with a lot of big waves - what else do you need to relax - yes a private crew helping you through the day and with every wish! We would love keeping this little gem all for our own… I would also recommend take a TukTuk to go to town or surfing beach Hikkaduwa and a Safari@Udawalawe!
10/106star place! After spending almost a month in SL we had the opportunity to compare a different types of accommodation / services provided. Without a doubt my family (2x adult, 3x kids: 9, 4 and 1) will vote for Max Wadiya to be a SL champion! We came for 7 nights, then extended for another 2 nights and then for another 5 nights. You have enough privacy, great swimming pool, clean beach with easy access to the sea and a perfectly trained staff that knows what makes your holiday perfect. RANJAN is the magic word; the word that guarantees if there is any problem, it will be fixed. What deserves special attention? Tuk-tuk driver is great (ask Ranjan). Transport from any place (ask Ranjan). You have a healt issue (Ranjan solves it). Fishing, snorkeling or diving, best massage or yoga, any wishes? Ask Ranjan! Food is more than perfect (wish anything and ask Ranjan). Curry and the salads! OMG! Small local market on Wednesdays (1 min walk from MW). Fishermans market (early morning): for nine USD (9,00 USD) you get 3 kg barracuda. Hairdresser for less than one USD (1,00 USD) in front of the main entrance to MW. Snorkelling, fishing, diving: ask Ranjan (PADI Hikkaduwa recommended). Changing money (USD or EUR) for SL rupee? Ask Ranjan (best rate, believe me!) Finally: personalised, great value, clean property, profesional attitude. Recommended! PS: Jungle Paradise for safari (ca 2,5 hours by car) perfect spot! However: Dear Ranjan, I do feel bad. For all the things you did for our family we didn´t appreciate you as we should appreciate you. Sincere apology! I´ll fix it soon!
10/10Beautiful even at monsoon season At the end of the monsoon season we enjoyed the hospitality and tranquility of Max Wadiya. The hospitality was second to none, I am a repeated customer and am already looking forward to returning soon. Recommend cooking classes on site as all the meals prepared are master chef quality. Nothing was too hard for the friendly staff. They are happy to organise any excursions etc
10/10Max Wadiya villa, is not only about vacations in a wonderful villa, it goes beyond. It is the single and unique experience offered by the Max Wadiya villa. It is more than luxury villa, it is the sum of small details and attentions, all with a fantastic taste, which is giving an unmatched experience, allowing the visitors to almost reach the perfection of a classy layout. It is not ostentatious, it is just perfect. This is also underlined by the warm welcome we received from the Sri Lankan people. Moreover, the crew, led by Ranjan, is incredible in its ability to serve, to stay discrete and its efficiency. Always with a smile, always ready to help to ease a stay in such a beautiful environment, they are accomplishing a fantastic work. Based on the kindness and the willingness to help, they are entirely part of the unique experience at Max Wadiya villa. My family has spent a great moment, and we have enjoyed every minute. A Christmas break that everyone will remember forever. And what a place to have this family cheering. Thanks a lot.
10/10We are now in Sydney after our wonderful stay in Max Wadiya. It was truly a fabulous holiday for us all, so relaxing and just a perfect place for our two little grandchildren who took a particular shine to Ranjan. The staff were charming and Ranjan was outstanding. He is such a special man and his kindness and charm just radiate from him - I’m not surprised he has been with you for 20years - he blends into the place! We were so happy to be there together - made extra special as getting all of us in one place at the same time from UK, Singapore and France will probably not happen again for another 2 years now that in-laws etc are factored in. The food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The Max Wadiya is a tropical paradise and suited us down to the ground. Thank you too for making it so special with all your help beforehand in organising etc. Thank you also for the entertainment on New Year’s Eve - we were all entranced by the dancers!
10/10We arrived 2 families with 5 girls for 2 weeks. The whole time we stayed in the Wadiya it was exciting!! The people so nice, the house so welcoming. The people so much fun, the beach great and the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen! We can't say thank enough for all the assistance, meals, help and kindness!! one hour before we go. we can't wait to come back. we love you and thank you!
8/10We have to leave today :-( BUT, we will come back!! And you can take our word as a promise! It was already our second stay at the Max Wadiya. This time we came with friends and they also fell in love with this amzing place and the incredible staff! See you soon again!
8/10What a very special place you have! We have loved every minute from new cooking lesson to sunrise yoga. Never want to leave. Thank you for taking care of our everyday need. It has been fabulous from start to finish. And the food has been truly memorable. Hope to be back soon. Best wishes to you all!
10/10What a great 5 days at Max Wadiya, just can't believe I am leaving tomorrow as I could be here for much longer. Thank you to Ranjan and his team. Everything was perfect, relax, friendly! I will be back!!!
